Deuteronomy 29:16-18

The Voice

¹⁶ You know what life was like in the land of Egypt, and you saw how other nations lived when you traveled through their territories. ¹⁷ You saw the detestable things they had with them, their idols of wood, stone, silver, and gold. ¹⁸ There could be a man or a woman among you, or even a whole clan or tribe, that might be willfully turning away from the Eternal this very day to go worship the gods of those nations! They’d be like a root that would bear bitter, poisonous fruit among you.
